The Ptolemaic dynasty was of Greek origin. And by the time they got to Cleopatra VII (the famous one), their family tree was basically a stump with no outside DNA in her bloodline for over a century before she was born (Cleopatra I died 107 years before Cleopatra VII was even born):

She might have been a bit darker than the average Greek (What with the bit of Syrian and Libyan ancestry provided by Cleopatra I and Berenice II), but not by much. If they were making a movie about, say, Hatshepsut and casting Gal Gadot, this outrage would have more merit, but they aren’t, so it doesn’t.
